And since, next to that line you do not see, "the follow terms are PI: magic jar, magic missile, magic ...." then they are not PI. >Ok, so now that I've gotten through the whole software issue (resolved by >not trying to comply with the d20 System License) I am getting hung up on >what is PI and what PI we have the "right" to through OGC/OGL. Any remarks? There is no PI in the SRD. 3rd party OGL users have declared stuff PI. Pick up a 3rd party book at your FLGS and see how PI is designated.
